Snap, Crackle, Shot….

Between business plans and bookkeeping programs there wasn’t time for photos.

There wasn’t time for me.

It hit me as I drove to the Martin’s home on Saturday.

My blog hadn’t been updated in a month. The photos shot this month were still collecting dust on my hard-drive, untouched.

Oh god, what has happened to me?

I am used to shooting everyday. Shooting sometimes five or six assignments in a day.

Now… what is this new life? Teaching, desk work, scattered assignments and shoots? Days to full to update blogs?

So, to put it mildly, I was beyond excited to shoot the Martins.

Through scorching heat, with sweat dripping down my back. I framed each shot. Laughing and joking as I went. Enjoying the moment, the art, the light, and the beautiful mess the harsh heat was making all of us.

I was pleased when I came home and started going through the dozens of pictures filled with laughing “kids” and responsible parents.
